Chloe Moretz and Haley Bennett Are Top Contenders to Lead CARRIE Remake; Jodie Foster and Julianne Moore Eyed for Mother Role

Now that Kimberly Pierce (Boys Don’t Cry) is set in the director’s chair, producers are working to cast the lead in the MGM/Screen Gems remake of Carrie. Vulture reports that a number of actresses have been shortlisted for the part (including Dakota Fanning and Lily Collins) but Chloe Moretz and Haley Bennett (Marley and Me) are apparently the top two candidates. The remake is said to be more faithful to Stephen King’s source material than Brian De Palma’s 1976 film adaptation, and apparently The Descendants star Shailene Woodley has already passed on the lead role. Hit the jump for more on the new Carrie.

First I’d like to apologize for not having uploaded this photoshoot earlier. I could’ve sworn I had, it was even uploaded in our database but I must’ve forgotten so here it is. Thanks to Lindsey for reminding me via email!

Up and coming actress Haley Bennett has booked the lead in Deep Powder, the Mo Ogrodnik-directed film being made by Killer Films with Pam Koffler producing. At the same time, Bennett is playing the title character in Ella Walks The Beach, a drama about a young woman who spends 24 hours traveling along an iconic California beach, testing the waters of suddenly being single. The film was written and is being directed by David Robert Mitchell, whose debut, The Myth of the American Sleepover, played at SXSW and Cannes last year. Adele Romanski is producing, with Benderspink’s Chris Bender, JC Spink and Jake Weiner exec producing. It’s the latest example of Benderspink’s push into productions, producing Jitters for Paramount, Undying Love for Warner Bros, and the Steve Carell-Jim Carrey-starrer Burt Wonderstone for New Line.
